Russell Simmons Music Group
Russell Simmons Music Group or RSMG was a record label founded by hip-hop mogul and accused sexual predator Russell Simmons. It was formed in 2004 as a joint venture with Universal Music's Island Def Jam Music Group.[1] Tony Austin was the label's president.[2][3]
Simmons was reported to be unhappy with the label as it released two official albums, Rev. Run's Distortion (2005) and the soundtrack to Waist Deep (2006). In 2007, the label folded.
